BOULDER – Colorado track and field's completely destroyed the previous school record in the men's 3,000-meter run here Friday evening to highlight a day that included six marks in the CU Top-10 performers list.
Herrera, who set the school record in the 1,500-meter run last year and has the second-fastest mark outdoors in the 5,000, finished second behind Northern Arizona's Abdihamid Nur in what will go down as one of the fastest men's 3,000-meter races in NCAA history. Nur's winning mark of 7:40.66 is the third-fastest mark in NCAA history in all-conditions while Herrera's mark is fifth.
